[Vision2020] Unabomber Believes in Global Warming Billboard: "Heartland billboard takeover"

[Paul Rumelhart]

Whatever a person thinks about the exact ratio of human vs. natural 
causes bringing on global warming or what the feedbacks are going to do, 
you have to admit that this advertising campaign is an incredibly stupid 
idea.

I think there's a Manson one, too.  Charles, not Marilyn.

Anyway, it would do both sides good to drop the theatrics and focus on 
the science.
